The great success of the Royal Baking Pow.
der is due to the extreme care exercised by its
manufacturers to make 1t entirely pure, uniform
lin quality, and of the highest leavening power]
AN the scientific knowledge, care and skill at
tanned by twenty years practical experience
|are contributed toward this end, and no phar-
|maceutical preparation can be dispensed with a
greater accuracy, precision and exactness.
Every article used is absolutely pure. A num-
|ber OF chemists employed to test the strength
|of each ingredient, so that its exact power and
|efect in combination with its co-ingredients is
definitely known. Nothing is trusted to chance,
|and no person is employed in the preparation of
the materials used or the manufacture of the
powder, who is not an expert in his particular
branch Of the business. As q consequences, the
Royal Baking Powder is of the highest grade
|of excellence always pure, wholesome and uni
form in quality. Each box is exactly ike every
|pther, and will retain it's powers and produce
The same and the highest leavening effect in any
climate, at any time. The Government Chem

brands in the market, in their reports placed the
Royal Baking Powder at the head Of the list Tod

In every respect, unrivaled.

"A. @. Groom & Co., have removed
their cigar factory from Brooksville to
this city, being unable to get the cigar
makers necessary to carry on their in
creasing business to 60 so far South to
reside. When this firm was first organ
ized it was intended to raise all their own
tobacco in this State. For this purpose
TOO acres of land were selected about
four miles from Brooksville, the soil hav-
ling the characteristics of that of the cele1
brated Veulta Abajo district of Cuba.
Two crops have been grown, the second
larger than the arst and requiring about
seventy hands in it's cultivation. The
acreage will be annually increased, but
[the same land never used tw consecutive
years, vegetables being planted instead.
| Havana seed is used and about 1000
pounds Of leaf produced per acre which

His Politics.

1t may reasonably be inferred that G.
|H. Jones first gained the ear of President
cleveland by having him to understand
that he was mugwump-a great Florida
|mugwump, whose sacrifice of party ties
from conscientious motives entitled him
Ito confidence and esteem and to the re-
wards which the Presidents sense of
Justice suggested were due to allies who
aided the overthrow of the radicalism
they had previously sustained. The tenor
|of thu" Old Timer Letter" would seem to
indicate similar tone in previous private
communications, verbally or otherwise,
with the President, for in that letter he
discussed the democracy of the State from
an outside standpoint, as though in con-
|tinuance Of previous expressions, roundly
them as party and as indi-
|viduals. 1t will be remembered that at
the beginning of 1884 the Times Union
Thought it necessary to announce in a
prospectus Of its course for that campaign
year that it would act with the demo-
cratic party, statement quite necessary
Ito define for the time political position
which was not fixed by its previous rec
|ord-that record which was snarled and
tangled with trickery, treachery, evasion,
double dealing, lodging and crawling out
of one pit of his own digging into an
other that he dug-to founder about
therein, in his effort to straddle both par
ties, carry water on both shoulders, dem
ocratic and republican, and spilling both,
d drenched, miry, miserable, slippery.
shabby little sinner, disgracing the hon
orable profession Of journalism. Well,
he did "act" with the democratic party
that year because he knew it would
win, but it never will be known how
much stronger the party would have been
without him in his District, so we'll was
Ibis crookedness known even then. Now,
however, it is known the State over that
he is lightweight upon the party he
burdens with his own bad reputation, and
that he is merely a "democrat ," on

ot the printing clause offered by Mr.. Mann. in|

The clause was passed, and promptly ap1

clause be part Of Article XVI, Miscellaneous
Provisions. That was the end Of 1t, for it did
not receive any further attention from Mr.. Manu-
or anybody else and it amounted to nothing bel

miscellaneous Provisions-Article XVI.
The Convention acted upon invarable rules
that there should be third reading of every
matter presented; that it should be referred to
the appropriate committee, which should make
report thereon; neither of which were COM
piled with in this case. It went by default.
The facts are that the Secretary handed the
clause as 1t appears printed IN the journal, 10
the State Printer, and it was published. The
Secretary never had anything more on the sub
ject to hand to the State Printer, and, as a mat
